Don King, a notorious figure in the boxing promotion world, along with Kris Lawrence’s The Heavyweight Factory, is gearing up to throw a massive punch with an upcoming boxing event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. On the roster for Friday, June 7th, is a lineup that promises to deliver blows as hard as life itself.
Leading the charge, Adrien Broner will clash with Blair Cobbs in what’s slated as the fight of the night. Cobbs, stepping back into the ring after a two-year hiatus, will challenge Broner, a seasoned fighter with a storied career, for the WBC “People’s Championship.”
Following that, fresh off a knockout that left fans roaring, Norair Mikaeljan, the reigning WBC Cruiserweight Champion, plans to shield his title from Ryan Rozicki’s ferocious fists in what will undoubtedly be a clash of titans.
Also defending his title, Ian Green from Paterson, NJ, who has been tearing through competitors with six consecutive wins, will showcase his skills in the middleweight division.
The heavyweight division will not be left behind as Cassius Chaney and Michael Hunter prepare to trade heavy artillery in a battle that’s sure to keep the crowd on its toes.
The event also pays tribute to Jose Sulaiman’s legacy, aiming to stitch his vision of world peace into the fabric of this night of championship boxing. Don King, never one to shy away from the spotlight, pledged to make the event a memorable tribute to Sulaiman’s enduring influence on the sport.
Supporting the night’s heavy hitters, other notable fighters like Ahmed Elbiali and Michael Oliveira will defend their titles, while up-and-comers like Yuniel Dorticos and Yoenlis Hernandez aim to make noise and climb the ranks.
